📋 About This Mod
This is my first mod, just some ini files. Fallout 76 is unoptimized, and people online like my self-took upon ourselves to improve performance on our own. Here is some optimized ini files, mostly shadow, grass, and effects were lowered or disabled. Take a look at the screenshots.
PLEASE READ:
I've fixed the bugs by re-doing the ini files, there are less bugs but you do have to do a little work. After you replace your ini files, go in-game and change your settings, then you exit, and set your ini files to read-only.
Custom settings you can change:
FOV is set to 110 How to change: (CTRL+F & search "FOV" in "Fallout76Custom.ini" & "Fallout76Prefs.ini")
Resolution: Look for iSize in both inis
Some issues you might encounter:
P: My menu won't load A: Delete your ini files and generate new ones by loading in game.

💡 Beginner Tips

- If your menu won't load, delete the INI files and let the game regenerate them, then reapply the mod.
- To adjust FOV or resolution, use Ctrl+F in a text editor to find 'FOV' or 'iSize' in both INI files.
